Maybe you've stumbled upon an inspirational quote on social media that moved you so much you immediately reposted it. And now you want to take a shot at making your own. Or perhaps you've been struck by a brilliant maxim so uplifting that you feel like you have to share it with someone who needs to hear it. Either way, BeFunky's Photo Editor is the perfect tool to help you turn a good photo and a great quote into instant inspiration.
How to Create a Picture Quote
Creating a good picture quote is actually quite simple, with just two important things to keep in mind. The first is to use a photo with a lot of clean space. It helps to ensure that your text stands out against the background. The second is to ensure you've either carefully crafted or curated your quote. If you haven't taken the time to solidify your quote, we suggest you do so now and return once you're finished.
Oh, done already? Great, let's get started! But first, click here to open the Photo Editor and follow along with the tutorial.
Step 1: Upload Your Photo
Start by clicking Open at the top of your canvas to upload your desired photo. You can also drag and drop directly from your computer.
At this point, you can choose to add a layer to your photo from the Graphics or Textures tab to improve text readability. For our photo, we chose to layer a semi-transparent rectangle on top of our photo.
Step 2: Add Text
Now it's time for the star of the show – the quote! We'll start by clicking the Text tab, followed by the blue Add Text button. After adding a text box, the Text Properties menu will immediately open. This menu allows you to customize various aspects of your text, so feel free to get creative and experiment with different font styles, colors, and effects.

Step 3: Add the Finishing Touches
With the base of your picture quote set, you'll want to add a few decorative elements to up the aesthetic. Try experimenting with color, graphics, and effects to get your desired look. We decided to add a couple of quotation marks and line graphics from the Graphics tab to adorn our picture quote. We also added a few pops of color to our text to emphasize impact words in our quote.
Step 4: Save Your Picture Quote
When you're finally happy with your picture quote, you'll want to save it to your desired destination. Start by clicking the Save button above your canvas to determine if you wish to save it to your computer, Befunky, Google Drive, or social media. You can also save it as a project, which allows you to return and edit it later. And we're done!
